Touchscreen input issues when playing games.

I have a Samsung S6 Tablet that is around a year old. I play Rhythm Games (Cytus 2) that requires a relatively high amount of touchscreen input compared to normal usage of the tablet.

During gameplay, sometimes the touchscreen would briefly 'freeze' for a moment and no input would be registered, this causes me to miss every single note. I tried a bunch of things to prevent it from happening (e.g turning off power saving mode, closing all other apps while playing etc) but none of them worked. I gave up for about a few months and later on I found out it was due to the tampered glass screen protector. After removing it, gameplay was 100% perfect and there were no issues. All the problems stated above completely stopped occuring.

I also tried a nanoglass screen protector. It worked perfectly for the 2 days then after that the touchscreen problems started happening again, so I resorted to just using my tablet without a protector permanently.

Everything was fine for about 3-4 months, but now suddenly the touchscreen issues are occuring once again. I dont have any screen protector on my tablet rn so I have no idea whats wrong with it. What should I do?

Hi
Try clicking on the get help button At the bottom of the samsung members page and run a diagnostic test Touch Screen and see if helps

I hope there is no misunderstanding, the problems are still present. That is why I havn't marked the post as solved.

Have you been able to find a solution?

I have the same issue too.

I turned on show input in the developer options, and I can see that the screen is not the problem for me.

For some reason, in games, the input is disabled(in the game, not that the screen isnt working). I'm sure it's not the game's issue as it happens for every game I try.
